[Sorry about the non-operational content] I complained at SkyInet.net about two hours ago - they were very responsive and said they'd pull the offending files immediately. They seem to have done so. If anyone wants removal instructions, LMK. Also, if anyone wants a copy of the .exe for analysis, I have one.
